So, if systems are your bag, my advice is to <a href="http://www.ntbugtraq.com/">start researching security </a> if you are running M$ internet server products (SQL 7, Exchange, IIS, Index Server, etc.). post:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.1361 Mon, 17 Apr 2000 08:17:56 -0800 Dean_Paxton MSNBC brokenlink Microsoft IIS exploit webserver security backdoor patch WindowsNT http://www.metafilter.com/1361/#3566 Indeed...
